This one is for cycling enthusiasts. And recently, I have come across many, who given a choice, would like to get onto their cycle and ride for kilometers at a stretch to get that adrenalin rush.
Dehradun based Vijay Pratap of ADVENTHRILL fame, is an adventure enthusiast and amongst the fortunate few who have tried their hand at every thrilling sport, from rappelling, mountaineering, rafting, canoeing and now another feather to his cap, cycling.
Talking to Newspost Vijay tells us, “Ever since the ban over adventure activities in Uttarakhand was put in place, my company is now organizing cycling expeditions. We are planning to make it BIG to promote emission free adventure, trying to propagate the very concept of eco-tourism and adventure tourism. ”
The nippy autumn air makes it the perfect outdoor activity. Their first expedition, last weekend, was a day visit to Mussoorie. Eight participants, men and women and teenagers made their way up the long winding roads leading up to the hill-station.
Coming weekend, the group is all set to an early start from Dehradun’s Clock Tower to Maaldevta, a distance of fifteen kms one way. The route will take the rider through Raipur, one of the city’s scenic roads to what is one of Dehradun’s popular tourist attractions, Maaldevta. At the end of the ride, the cyclists will be treated to light snacks, amidst nature’s bounty.
So what do you bring along? Vijay tells us, “All one needs is your personal safety gear and a cycle and you can register for the ride.” World over people are going crazy over the environmental and health benefits of cycling, why should we in Uttarakhand, be any different, and as they say ‘when is doubt, pedal it out!‘ What you waiting for?
